on the barack obama agenda. i think a way of working in washington which is an arrogant approach to politics in this country shutting out one party entirely that is not what barack obama promised. he has delivered something very different from what people expected. i think the people in massachusetts in the bluest of blue states are saying they don't like that they want more balance they want somebody who is a believer in the people of america not just the government of america. >> sean: i agree. i think this arrogance and i think misinterpretation of the last elections' results. if you got to bribe senators to support your health care plan and buy off unions to support your health care plan and you are not going to keep your promise to be transparent and put it on c-span it seems this is a reaction to that arrogance do you agree with that analysis? >> i do. i think a lot of people will look at the campaign issue by issue to understand why scott brown has been so successful. it is really the attitude of are call them the neomonarchists in washington who believe big government is better, sma

, 2020 -- 20/20 hindsight, one is that barack obama's campaign was in fact audacious and bold. this is a person who is a politician with great self-confidence. it is, therefore, not surprising that as president, he has bitten off a huge amount of stuff that he has put forward a very big and bold agenda as president. i think people who are surprised as that ought not to be surprised by that because of the nature of barack obama himself. i think there's a second thing about the campaign that was always a kind of an inherent contradiction in the message and meaning of the campaign that has become a more acute problem in their first year in office, and that is part of the message was hope, change, a new politics. we're going to put an end to the divisive politics of the buescher ra and the clinton era. the second was an agenda that was almost designed -- almost guaranteed to divide the parties and bring polarization and that's one of the reasons we've seen the battles we've seen this year. the white house would obviously blame republicans for being so strong in their opposition, b

election. now barack obama that period of one year which obama could pass anything he wanted ended on tuesday. it was unique period in american history. it has only been basically one of five periods since 1900, where a president had that kind of power. now i think he's more like a -- traditional president who has to horse trade and negotiate. but he set up an environment and atmosphere where he can't. he's so antagonized and polarized this country and alienated the republicans and the moderates and the independents, i don't think anybody will talk to him. bill: biljana plavsic wait, hold it. he didn't do it. he hasn't been throwing the bombs he let others do it. pelosi, reid, disgraceful pundits who prop up the obama administration every night in the newspapers and on television. but he himself still scores 50% or higher on personal popularity in every poll. i don't think americans dislike him, but surely they dislike the liberal policies he's embraced. so i think he could make a comeback. i don't think he's done after a year. but he has to shift it fast like clinton did in '94. >

how you can define the conclusion. i think that barack obama becoming president of the united states is a small test in the fact that this nation is in a rather incremental way moving forward. i think it is much to america's credit that it could go to that place, however in the aftermath, i think there are millions who have come to the table to tell you that they wish he was dead rather than alive doing some of the things that he is doing. there is also something else we must take into consideration. barack obama is first and foremost a man. he is flawed. he has his contradictions. he has revealed those contradictions. there is a question that we have. do we get behind him and push him to become what we know he should be or do we lay back and watch him drift, watch him capitulate and then say aha, we knew it all along. it is not his conclusion to be ours. is not his fate also to be ours. what role do we as a people play in forcing the mission to go where we know it must go? reminds me of that much-quoted dinner with franklin roosevelt and a. phillip randolph when after a night of tal
